Left-wing Dem hit with hometown church blowback over 30-second ad

Left-wing Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is spotlighting a local church in an ad seeking to win over voters – but the congregation says it wants nothing to do with his campaign.

Sullivan Harbor Baptist Church, located in Platner’s hometown, appears in a 30-second spot the Platner campaign rolled out earlier in March. The video, titled "The Veteran Who Came Home," features military veterans endorsing Platner’s campaign and is interspersed with shots of the American flag and the white clapboard church.
